Arab Bank v. Linde

Issue: (1) Whether the Second Circuit erred when, in
conflict with decisions of this Court and other circuits
and in disregard of international comity and
due process, it failed to vacate severe sanctions for
non-production of records located in countries where
production would subject the Bank to criminal penalties,
hobbling the Bank’s defense; and (2) whether the courts below erred by failing to
dismiss plaintiffs’ Alien Tort Statute claims, as the Second Circuit’s
and this Court’s decisions in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum require. CVSG: 10/21/2013.
